In an ideal world, every full-time student can navigate the curriculum in 4 years and find course content accessible, meaningful, and relevant to their educational goals. In practice, however, there are delays, false starts, and roadblocks along the student’s pathway to a degree. These bottlenecks are not always clearly visible to the faculty responsible for the curriculum. To address this challenge, many universities have begun using Curricular Analytics, a free tool that allows universities to visualize a student’s progress through a degree program, simulate alternatives, and optimize the pathway to success. Curricular Analytics can also be cross-referenced with student performance and demographic data to identify whether barriers disproportionately affect students from minoritized and low-income backgrounds. In this webinar, leaders from several Powered by Publics clusters will share how they use Curricular Analytics to assess equity gaps, engage faculty around the results, and catalyze changes to the curriculum. Attendees learned about the tool and its application in program review, as well as strategies for improving student success and obtaining buy-in from faculty.
